Apple bought Android keyboard maker Dryft last year

It was only recently discovered that Apple bought Dryft last year. Dryft creates the Android keyboard app of the same name. The Dryft keyboard for tablets appears for use when the user touches the screen.

Apple reportedly hired the Dryft CEO with the deal. Perhaps the folks in Cupertino are getting serious about updating the keyboard in the iPad which by today's standards is not very good.

WWDC announced

Apple's big annual conference for developers will take place in San Francisco June 8 - 12. This event is primarily to allow developers of OS X, iOS, and now Watch OS to work directly with Apple software engineers.

The company often divulges information about future software and sometimes hardware so it is also a major media event.
